MYSTERIOUS MILLIONAIRE WANTS TO ORGANIZE A BATTLE ROYALE IN REAL LIFE

A mysterious millionaire - and probably bored - wants to do a real-life Battle Royale on a private island.

The person remained anonymous, but expressed his desire to make 100 people compete with airsoft guns and armor with sensors through the website HushHush, which positions itself as a place for luxury shopping. The original posting on the site is looking for people to help with the arena design of this Battle Royale version. The competition will last three days, with 12 hours of competition in each of them. On-site camping and food accessories will be provided by the organization.

In recent years, the genre Battle Royale has become very popular in electronic games, as was the case with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Fortnite and most recently Apex Legends. Even companies like From Software are keeping an eye on this market and are thinking of investing in titles of the genre - even if it is an adapted version, such as Tetris 99.The winner of this competition will win £ 100,000, which gives roughly £ 500,000 in today's price (9).

The founder of HushHush said that the person behind the project is interested in making the event become something recurring, depending on the success of that first version.
